Drainage Problems

Poor drainage is often the result of improper grading or a landscaping deficiency. The terrain is such that water does not naturally flow and infiltrate the soil. Once the ground is saturated, excess water naturally ponds in areas of lower elevation, making your yard a muddy mess. Over time, this can result in:


  • Structural damage
  • Soil erosion
  • Plant and turf damage
  • Fungus, mold and mildew
  • Mosquito infestation

There are a number of leading indicators to help identify a drainage problem around your home and yard:


  • Personal observations
  • Standing water 24 hours after a hard rain or irrigation
  • Yellowing plant life
  • Water debris such as leaves, pine straw, trash, etc.
  • Mud or silt deposits on walkways and other flat hardscapes
  • Damp or wet crawl spaces
